2,000 seems pretty low, do you know how many streetlights there are in the city?
Are you a local manufacturer? You seem to know a lot about LED technology.

EPCOR has a contract with the CoC right now to replace a lot (500 I think?) of the streetlight poles that are deemed to be in critical condition. So you probably saw them after they had changed out the pole, and then were installing the light back on the pole.
There are about 100,000 streetlights in Edmonton, and IIRC the number is pretty similar in Calgary.
I'm the maager of engineering with EPCOR Techologies, but my primary focus is exterior lighting. I was the project manager for the LED retrofits in Edmonton where we've installed about 18,000 LEDs so far. I also wrote the specification for the lights that were installed in Lethbridge, of which we've installed about 12,000. There are very few things I would consider myself an expert in, but exterior LED lighting is probably one of those things.
